Loving you is easy, it took no effort at
     all
I loved you instantly, no choice in my
     fall.
The thing is, though, I feel I can only
     hope to be
the person you inexplicably see within
      me.
So you're teaching me to love myself,
     day by day.
And I'm learning that patience is the
     only way,
for complete acceptance of my own
     flaws may be slow
But true self-love is worth each ebb
     and every flow.
